I was thinking bout gettin a summit x5 viper and was wondering if anyone had an opinion on them or a comparable stand. Thanks.

get one with a footrest the footrest makes a heck of a difference and it make the stand 10 times more comfortable. go to ebay i got one on there for 225 bucks and it had a footrest and a gun pivot rest. i think summits stands are awesome

I own the X5. Very good stand IMO. I put the foot stirrups on it and makes climbing much easier.
I like the idea of sitting and climbing. The bar is easily moved if you want. Remember, always use
a climbing harness while going up and down. The system comes with the stand is really good IMO.
Bought mine on EBAY...saved some cash..free shipping too. Good luck to you.

If you ask me, I say it's the best stand on the market.

Iwill agree.I boughta new X5this season and love it. It's the best stand i've ever owned
